Earlier in the week there was rumour floating around that an old GameCube franchise was heading to the Wii and there would be an announcement soon. Well the rumour was true and from the latest issue of Famitsu comes Soul Calibur Legends for the Wii. All that is known about the game is that it is listed as an Action/Adventure game and you can ""Meet the Soul Calibur Characters and fight with the Wiimote.” Update: More Inside.
More details of the game have been revealed via a story on 1up.com. The character Seigfried will be the focus of the games story, but many other characters will appear during the game including new characters. The game will offer only Nunchuck and Wiimote control at this stage and may not have as deep of a control scheme as previous games. Like a RPG, when you battle you will gain experience and level up allowing you to learn news moves and attacks. The developers then stated that they wished to make a game again that pushed the techonological envelope - ""Over the past ten years, since the release of the original Soul Blade, the team behind the Soulcalibur series has pushed the envelope of technology and innovation with each iteration. With Soulcalibur Legends, they saw the opportunity to once again create an immersive experience that is unique to the franchise."" said Makoto Iwai head honcho over at Namco Bandai America.
